Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Highlighter

Advantages: does the job
Disadvantages: expensive

...Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Eclat has become known as the best highlighter money can buy, and that's not without reason. Yes, the brand name and packaging are appealing, but it's the miracle inside the shiny gold tube that you're paying for. And believe, me it's worth the money. Before Touche Eclat, Yves Saint Laurent was not particularly well-known for its make-up line. Whilst many designer cosmetics are more style than substance, this is not true for Touche Eclat, which is more than a side-project for a major fashion house. This product works as both a concealer, covering dark under-eye circles and as a highlighter, to accent areas such as cheekbones. The reason why it works so well is that it contains light reflecting particles with give your skin a natural, radiant glow, whereas other concealers and cover-ups effectively just...

Lucia, Lucia

Advantages: Great read, wonderful descriptions
Disadvantages: Some sad parts might make you cry

..."Lucia, Lucia" is a novel by Adriana Trigiani. The novel is set in 1950's New York and is based around an Italian family who have now settled in America and own a grocery store. The novel begins in the present day with an old Lucia reminiscing about her past to Kit a young woman who lives in the same apartment block. Very soon we forget about Kit and are immersed in Lucia's world in 1950's New York. Lucia belongs to a very traditional Italian family with its old-fashioned values and the importance of family, respect, traditions and marrying into the right Italian family. The 1950's were however were starting to become a changing time for women and although most pursued the traditional roles of becoming a wife and mother and giving up a career there were starting to become more who held on to their jobs and had a little more...

Review of Lucia, Lucia - Adriana Trigiani

Lucia Leader

Advantages: 50s fashion, Italians
Disadvantages: sad in parts

...A couple of weeks ago my friend and I went on a shopping expedition. We were nearly ready to go home empty handed when pal o?mine spotted a new book shop that boasted a 3 for £10 poster outside. We grinned at one another and walked in. I was overjoyed when my friend handed over the decision making to me. Choose three books for her? OK then ? One was a true crime, one was ?PS I Love You? (even though I haven?t read it yet myself!) and the final one was this book, Lucia Lucia. Pal handed this one over to me as she knows I'm a fast reader. A week later she had it back! * The story * It?s 1950. Lucia Sartori is a 25 year old living in Greenwich Village, New York. She?s still at home with her Italian parents and four brothers, but she?s an independent gal who works in the local department store in the Special Order Department...

St Lucia Botanical Garden - beauty on the slopes of the beast

Advantages: Peaceful and colourful stop, very lush
Disadvantages: Few.

...Like several others of the Windward Islands chain, St Lucia was formerly mainly divided into plantations and plantations principally grew sugar (now the main crop is bananas, although tourism is the main source of income). The plantations may have gone but often their names live on (like Sandy Lane in Barbados) and Soufriere is the former plantation in St Lucia which is the home of the St Lucia Botanical Gardens (also known at the Diamond Botanical Gardens). (Side note: If Soufriere sounds French, it is: St Lucia was changed hands repeatedly between the French and the British, belonging to each of the warring nations a total of 7 times each). Soufriere Plantation was part of a land grant by King Louis XIV and it is the descendants of the Devaux family, to whom the land was granted, who still own the land and who therefore own...

A little devil but a saintly cheese.

Advantages: Delicious and remarkably versatile
Disadvantages: Naughty but nice

... ST AGUR BLUE CHEESE St Agur is one of my favourite cheeses; it is SO good, if rather naughty!!!! If you like a soft blue cheese, like Gorgonzola I'm sure that you will love this cheese. St Agur is a blue cheese that is made from pasteurized cow's milk which comes from the village of Monts du Velay, in Auvergne region of central France. (Incidentally there is NO village called St Agur, in France - or anywhere else, and nor is there a saint called Agur) This is a relatively modern cheese that was only developed in 1988 by a French cheese company (Bongrain). It is classed as a 'double cream cheese' as it is made from pasteurised cow's milk that is enriched with cream, and contains 60% .After production the cheese is aged for 60 days in cellars, during this storage the cheese becomes stronger and spicier. Saint Agur is...

Review of Saints And Soldiers (DVD)

The saint

Advantages: Great action packed spy movie
Disadvantages: none

...The saint is a movie that comes from the popular tv series that use to star Rodger Moore,Val kilmer replaces him as a top spy who is a master of disguise and suceeds buy convincingly changing his appearence,in this film we find him on a new job to swipe intelligence for the russians,unfortunaley the job becomes harder when the proffesseur turns out to be the lovely Dr emma russell (Elizabeth shue). The film is action packed and although you usually see through Mr kilmers disguises its still a good movie,probably not something you want to see in numerous sequals thoughIt has a james bondish feel to it and Val and Elixabeth do good jobs in there cast roles,often over looked its a good afternoon movie but probably not one for the collection,it has a good soundtrack and manages to breathe some new life into a old series ,definatley...
